A quick walk around Main Street, Central Street and Magnolia Close. A far cry from the days when coal mining was the principle income for many families in this area. Sad and eerie to imagine this place alive with families, kids playing in the streets and neighbours gossiping over fences. The stills in the video are taken from Google Street View (copyright), and are already a world away from present day, all these houses are now earmarked for demolition - apparently funding for refurbishment and rebuilding was allocated, but never came.

  • I just wonder where all the people went... presumably not to the pricey new 'executive' housing in the north-west of the town!
